Since we tend to be better at noticing change, this is an opportunity to listen out for what's already there, before we register a change in the form of soreness, pain, irritation, relief. It is also an invitation to observe without trying to make something happen. Sometimes (not always, but often enough to worth trying), it only takes a few extra seconds of neutral observation before something adjusts by itself.
📖 Fun personal reminder that focus & control, without physical tension, stop feeling like focus & control. Even when actually focused and in control.
10 minutes of mindful movement a day 🍂
For the month of October I will be posting a different thought/theme each day to bring some Alexander inspired mindfulness into daily activities.
To follow along, simply
🚴 Choose an activity. It can be the same one or different each day
(the more inconsequential and boring the better)
🔍 Use the activity as an opportunity to explore the theme
📖 Take note of anything interesting (I will be sharing some of my own notes/observations as I follow the themes too)
If you have any questions, thoughts, observations, disbeliefs, challenges, I would genuinely love to discuss it, so feel free to reach out.
Disclaimers:
1. These are some thoughts I have found helpful during my Alexander journey. They are definitely not all the technique is or has to offer.
2. ⚠ Health and Safety ⚠
Don't choose an activity that requires to to handle a vehicle or sharp object, or can put you or others in danger.
